Opinions on Bedini amps


I occasionally see Bedini amps for sale, usually the 25/25 or the 803(?). From the descriptions and specs, they seem to offer a lot of class A power for the money. Any Bedini users/listeners who would care to share their experience or opinions?

I owned the 25/25 about 15 years ago, much like abstract7 writes but the amazing thing is how well it drove acoustat 1+1's that ordinarily craved power, my dealer couldn't beleive it. had the opportunity to try another Bedini amp, i don't remember the model but it had 250 watts per and sounded awesomely tubelike but with great detail, overall a little too dark for my taste. I wonder what john is doing these days?
I used to have a friend who had the Bedini 25/25. I always thought it sounded wonderful, and I would even use the word great. I had a chance to buy one REAL cheap back around 1988. I didn't, but have always regretted it. All this being said, if I heard it today, I don't know how I would perceive it. My tastes have changed a lot since then.
i have a bedini amp 150/150 classic. very musical and punchy i trade my krell kav250a in for a 200/200 classic. the bedini 150 is more smoother, punchier,and musical. slightly dark but prefer this to krells strident,edgy,and slightly bright sound. plus $1000 cheaper and pure class A i have no realiability problems. i have with krell. see review on www.audioreview.com
